There's not really one particular one for me. I've always loved them (as I assume most have). But I remember watching things like ET and Star Wars as a kid and being mesmorized.

Also, I remember the feeling I had after I watched Jurassic Park in theaters when I was younger. I was simply amazed that a movie could be that good. Plus, I went saw it with my dad and he NEVER went to movies, so it meant more to me in that respect as well.

I saw Last of the Mohicans in the theater, and I was just kind of captivated by the music, cinematography, and the scope of the story. Also cried like a baby at the end when Magua fights Unkas and Chingachgook shows up at the end (trying to avoid spoilers for any morons that haven't sen this yet). Really showed me how emotional great films could be.

Then I saw Pulp Fiction. Talk about mind blown. This really showed me, and most of the movie going public I guess, that there was an entirely different world of great stories to be told in entirely different ways unlike anything Hollywood had done before.

Good Will Hunting in 98 was probably the final piece of the puzzle for me. It was the first great film and story made by and about people closer to my generation than any Oscar caliber movie I had seen before.

After that is when I really began to crave good films and pretty much started seeing every movie that came out.

This is probably the film that made me appreciate animation actually. I was 20 when I saw it and at the time thought that anything animated was for kids. Friend almost forced me to watch it, and it blew my face off. Never thought I'd see animation like that.
